BSOD only while playing games (clock interrupt not received)

So i've been getting very regular blue screens only while playing games, and I thought it was about time to try and fix this as it has been happeneing nearly every 10-15 minutes after playing. (specifically the games played are bf3, arma 2, guild wars 2 and counterstrike global offensive).

The error I get on the blue screen is "A clock interrupt was not received on a secondary processor within the allocated time interval" and it's the exact same message every time. Sometimes my computer will lock up and play a horrible sounding noise (sounds a bit like "errrrrrrrttttt") it will mostly BSOD shortly after but sometimes it even comes back. I downloaded blue screen viewer and it seems from there that a driver called "ntoskrnl.exe" is the main culprit, however some other drivers are showing up as the cause, this one (ntoskrnl.exe) seems to be the main one causing it. I've attched the mini dump files for the last 5 blue screens.

My system specs are:

OS: Windows 7 ult 64bit
GPU: Ati Raedeon 6850HD
CPU: i5-2500k @ 3.3GHz
Memory: 8gb ripjawsX (2x4gb)
PSU: 700w corsair (cant quite remember)
Mobo: Asus Intel LGA1155 P8P67-M PRO
directX 11
HDD: 60GB SSD with operating system on (ocz vertex II) 2TB internal storage (has all games on)

Note that this is a custom build built by myself, I have never overclocked this setup all the bios settings are default, the bios is fully up-to-date, latest video drivers etc. It ran fine for a month or two after first building this. I've done stress tests on both the CPU and the graphics card and both seemed fine under loading, temperature of the CPU and GPU never goes higher than 67 degrees, and idles at around 32degrees.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, many thanks.

Hello b1scuits, Welcome to SF!

Lets get started,

Code:

dtsoftbus01.sys Fri Jun 17 02:38:37 2011 (4DFB047D)

Please uninstall all Daemon Tools software, as this is a known cause for problems.

But this could be a possible overheating. So make sure ALL of your fans are running while the computer is turned on.

Could also be a hardware problem, so give this a go:

BugCheck 0x124

   Warning

Before you proceed with the following, answer these two questions: Are you still under warranty? Does your warranty allow you to open up the machine to check hardware? If you are unsure of the answers to these questions, contact your system manufacturer. WARNING: The steps that follow can void your warranty!!!

For your hardware stop 0x124 crash, read through Stop 0x124 - what it means and what to try and use the following hardware checks to supplement that link.

• If you are overclocking any hardware, please stop.
  
  
• If you have an SSD, make sure the following are up to date:
  • SSD firmware
  • BIOS Version
  • Chipset Drivers
  • Hard disk controller drivers/SATA drivers
  • If you have a Marvell IDE ATA/ATAPI device, make sure the drivers are up to date from the Intel site or Marvell site and not from your motherboard/vendor support site.
  
  
  
• Run all but the advanced tests with SeaTools for HDDs.
  SeaTools for Windows
  
  SeaTools for DOS
  
  
• Monitor temperatures during the following tests.
  
  Use the following programs to monitor the temperatures.
  • Real Temp is a good CPU temperature monitor.
  • Speccy - System Information - Free Download will monitor all hardware temperatures.
  • HWiNFO, HWiNFO32 & HWiNFO64 - Hardware Information and Analysis Tools can be inaccurate for CPU temperatures, but is a good program for GPU temperature monitoring.
  
  
  • Use FurMark: VGA Stress Test, Graphics Card and GPU Stability Test, Burn-in Test, OpenGL Benchmark and GPU Temperature | oZone3D.Net to test the graphics card GPU. Let it run until the GPU temperatures even out or until the GPU temperatures reach a dangerous level (you can find the max temperature for your card on either the nVidia or AMD sites; if you are not sure, ask us). The goal is to get a steady temperature, find out if the GPU is overheating, or to see if there are any artifacts present in the test itself: look for strange pixelated patterns on the screen or colors that do not look like they belong. Then use the |MG| Video Memory Stress Test 1.7.116 Download to test your graphics card memory. Let the memory test run for at least seven passes; the more the better.
    
    
  • Run Hardware - Stress Test With Prime95 to determine any hardware problems. Run all three tests for a few hours each. If you get errors, stop the test and post back here.
    
    
  • Follow the steps for doing CPU stress test using IntelBurnTest
  
  
• Run the boot version of Memtest86+ paying close attention to Parts 2 and 3 of the tutorial. Also, in case Memtest86+ misses anything and comes up with no errors, run the extended version of the Windows Memory Diagnostics Tool for at least five passes. These you may want to run overnight since they take a long time to complete (run them an hour before bed each of the next two nights and check before going to sleep that they are still running).
  
  For Part 3: If You Have Errors: If you swap any memory components, follow these steps for ESD safety:
  
  1. Shut down and turn off your computer.
  2. Unplug all power supplies to the computer (AC Power then battery for laptops, AC power for desktops)
  3. Hold down the power button for 30 seconds to close the circuit and ensure all power drains from components.
  4. Make sure you are grounded by using proper grounding techniques, i.e. work on an anti-static workbench, anti-static desk, or an anti-static pad. Hold something metallic while touching it to the anti-static surface, or use an anti-static wristband to attach to the anti-static material while working. If you do not have an anti-static workbench, desk, or pad, you can use your computer tower/case by finding a metal hold in it, such as a drive bay.
  
  Once these steps have been followed, it is safe to remove and replace components within your computer.

Apologize for the late reply. If you have any newer crash files please post them. And make sure you follow the https://www.sevenforums.com/crashes-d...tructions.html so we can get all files that we need.

Code:

DEFAULT_BUCKET_ID:  VERIFIER_ENABLED_VISTA_MINIDUMP

That line is in all of your dump files.
Please disable Driver Verifier by following this tutoral: Driver Verifier - Enable and Disable

Hello,

I am very sorry for no reply for almost 2 months. Life has been very hectic lately and has been getting in the way of having time to help. I will spend the rest of my free time to solve this problem, if I can't then I will get someone who can.

Did it happen while only playing the game? The crash files shows Guild Wars 2 was running during the crash. Does it happen outside the game?

Also, please use the SF tool to get ALL files so I can do a better analysis of this problem.

Again, I am so sorry I have been gone, but am back now!
